What a fitting farewell to Airpusher Collective's beloved airship art car, Shippy! Our camp all climbed aboard for a cruise around the artworks at Burning Man, and I was honored to play this set as we sailed around the Playa. Thank you, Shippy, for your many years of service to the Playa and for making our little Powder Run one of the highlights of our burn!

Ps. If you've never DJed aboard a moving art car, you can replicate the effect by having one friend shake your DJ table while you try to balance on a Bosu ball. It's great fun, but makes nailing a technical DJ set a little harder lol...

Hi friends here's the live recording of my set from Burning Man this year at Opulent Temple's Sacred dance party on Wednesday. I had the honor to play right before Carl Cox which when I joined Opulent Temple and camped with them in 2010 for the first time, I only dreamed of being able to play this set before the big dawg. It was quite the experience and one that I will remember forever.

Hello friends, this is my sunrise set recorded live from Burning Man 2024 at the one and only Disco Lips camp.  I unexpectedly got to play a much longer set than I anticipated so I was able to start off a little harder and move into a deeper lane as the sun came over the horizon. Huge thanks to those who were with me for the journey.  It was one ill never forget.. )"(

Opulent Temple Podcast #159 - São Miguel - Live at Burning Man 2024

For the unexposed, the Opulent Temple started as a Large Scale Art & Music theme camp at the annual Burning Man arts festival that takes place in the Black Rock desert of Nevada the week before Labor Day. We throw nightly parties showcasing underground, world class electronic dance music in a setting of art and creation we've made ourselves. Our community and fund raising events are based in San Francisco, and though our production is associated with the BM event, you can find us in many settings wherever there's fun to be had.

The Vision of the Opulent Temple is to gift a space for sacred dance to world class dance music. It is our intention to create the space for peak experience, community development, and inspiration that serves as a road map for what's possible in the so called 'default world.' The effort is self generated by the tribe, ie., no one gets paid to create our production. On the contrary, key members put a lot of their own time, effort, and sometimes money all year around to bring it back every year.

It's not just about partying.

It is our view that social change will not happen without individuals doing their part to elevate our collective spiritual center of gravity. Thus, it is our responsibility to nudge our own evolution to catch up with the outpaced growth of technology without the soul getting left behind. It's within this community of creative seekers that coalesces around the playa tribes that leaders must emerge to help steer this nation and this world towards a better day.

To create a space for Sacred Dance is to create a playground for connection with the Eternal, but in our case, still infused with the need for social action in the real world. Big beats and community are the launching point for insight to remind us there is a point to evolution. Transcendence, and nothing less. It might sound like hippy New Age shit, but in this case that doesn't mean it isn't true...

The Musical Vision
We're obviously firm believers in the beat, the transcending properties of mind blowing electronic dance music (EDM), both to open the heart and make the ass shake depending on one's preference and the moment. We value diversity in the range of world class artists that play our camp, as well as the camp dj's who build it so get to play what they feel. Most nights are fairly cohesive unto themselves, but day to day it can be all over the place. Our past line ups speak for themselves.

We'll see you in the sweet spot, under the stars...
